I was once told that our company went with Azure because when you tell the boomer client that our service is down because Microsoft had an outage, they go from being mad at you, to accepting that the outage was an act of god that couldn’t be avoided.

Azure outages: happens all the time, understandable, no way to prevent this

AWS outages: almost never happens, you should have been more prepared for when it does

The 50 year old executive using the software doesn’t know what an AWS is and hardly knows what Amazon does outside of selling junk.

If you say it’s Microsoft then it’s just unavoidable.
